I was trying to help by posting when the announcer said they were extending the bulletin.

The news was listed from 6.01 to 6.15 including weather. It ran until about 6.30 plus weather.

That's an extension IMHO.

And do you think a 30 minute News is good enough for the day that's in it.

Its not something that came out of the blue, it was well flagged last night that a deal was more or less done so the had plenty of time to get their act together.

If this happened last week it would have being wall to wall coverage for the day.

But we cant upset our RTE superstars by asking them to come in today for a few hours can we.

I was just trying to help you out by posting the info. about the extended Six One News.

I suppose that like myself you tuned into a news channel when the deal was announced and picked up most of what was relevant.

RTE added reports from Dublin, London and Brussels and an interview with An Taoiseach.

TBH on Christmas Eve that will do me.

I'll get back to the detail later.

Happy Christmas.

RTÉ started their news break on Monday, ditching the normal hour long six-one, very few companies shutdown on the 21dec.

Imagine if they had to run a 24 hour news channel... Oh wait!

RTÉ says it's striving to improve Player amid complaints about 'frustrating' and 'ridiculous' service

When asked about the issues raised by viewers, a spokesperson for RTÉ said the Player has a support team “that works 365 days a year and logs all feedback on the service”.

“These issues are then escalated to our technical teams,” they added.

The spokesperson also noted: “We constantly strive to improve the user experience both technically and by adding new content through live exclusives, box sets and longer catch-up rights from TV broadcast.”

We are going to continue to buy in 25m or more worth of content that would be better spent on a robust player, oh and if you want a doriean garraighy totes funny experience.

Muahahaha

The Player is a joke, I've long since given up on it as its just not worth the frustration. Its like they put 90% of their resources into making sure the ads play well (and often) and forgot about the rest of it

The BBC didn't even bother putting the news out on BBC1 at the time it broke and they didn't even bother bringing back BBC News Channel presenters instead keeping with the BBC World News simulcast so no BBC News Channel presenters were asked to return

Nobody covered it as they would have last week

Couldn't agree more, we're are all it's highly paid correspondents, we're are all the overly paid presenters, it's an annual disgraceful set of affairs. I get people entitled to holidays but this year takes the biscuit on abandonment given what is going on in the country. Of course it could be argued none of them actually necessary, the Team carrying RTE at the moment doing an admiral job at present.

As an aside, also worth pointing out the appalling Sh*** across their channels this year, woeful stuff especially that T**l Baz on the hunt for Fungi, mother of God just awful muck altogether.

AndyBoBandy

They’re going all in on your man Baz thanks to the success he had on Sky with that show he did with his mother.....

He’s their flavour of the decade now and as such, will churn out show after show with him front and center.

Baz has had a million chances already ffs, remember breakfast radio with Baz and Lucy? Wanderlust was another and must be 15 years old if not 20. Plus countless other crap.

But he’s with Noel Kelly so he’ll be set for life. And he won’t let the nasty fraudsters take your money.:rolleyes:

Not kidding, Baz sent to Dingle (he'd actually had never been there before) kind of said it all really. I see the morning Ireland crew also reduced the show to one hour, giving that even bigger T*** Leaky Leo a full 20 minutes to further patronise the nation.

AndyBoBandy

Just turned on the TV there and on RTÉ 1 we have a movie, followed by Fair City.

Over on RTÉ 2 we have Junior Masterchef......2014

It’s like they are goading us for some reason...

Nah, that’s just foreplay. My favourite was Mrs. Brown’s Boys Christmas Special - in August.

They even had an advert with that Jennifer McGuire witch to tell us all it was 'new and improved'...

It was more broken than ever before. Well done.

Turned on RTE 2 there-as they're showing the animated film, The Breadwinner. The one that was nominated for an Oscar for best animated feature (tho that doesnt' count for much-the Oscars never watch animated films).

It's in Irish, as Gaeilge....with no subtitles...

Why pay to even show it at all if one can't understand it?

Why is Morning Ireland reduced to one hour this week? And the rest of this week’s schedule is all over the place. Claire Byrne, Ryan Tubridy, Ray D’Arcy, all MIA. If we can do without them now, we can do without them for the rest of the year.

Noel Kelly must be some fierce negotiator, to get these breaks for his Talent.

Talent ?

He has to know where there are many many bodies buried. That's the only explanation I can figure.

Hit the nail on the head...i listened to abit of marty morrisey this morning...he was filling in for tubridy....
It was fairly sh1te but far less annoying than the DLB....

Alot cheaper too....just get rid of anyone in RTE over 200k...

Some durrrty pictures of folks currently sitting in the Dail would be my only explanation.

Few politicians with white lines on the table, one or two of em with a leather fetish...

Only explanation, tbh.
